After collabing with Rose McGowan on last month’s single of the same name, Kid Bookie has been back in the studio with his “big brother” Corey Taylor.
Kid Bookie has revealed details of a brand-new collab with Corey Taylor.
Fresh from working with Rose McGowan, the London alt. artist has teamed up with Slipknot’s frontman yet again (following 2019’s Stuck In My Ways and 2022’s Game, not to mention collabing with Corey’s son Griffin last year on Get Out) for a new single entitled Blame, which drops on March 17.
“The rulebook is out the window,” Bookie teases. “The world and music needs moments, music brings hope in moments, don’t stop releasing music, fight in the face of adversity. Come together. Walk together. Be accountable. Blame.”
He also says, “I’m so proud of us on this record… we pushed each other so far on this song. Over the years we’ve collaborated on many different styles but we threw the rulebook away one more time for this…
“This is for the people, for those who know how hard growth is but mainly being accountable for it, we can’t wait for you to receive this. The countdown is on.”
Speaking to Kerrang! about why the Slipknot vocalist has been such a huge source of inspiration over the years, Kid Bookie enthused that, “Corey is always someone I have to shout-out. When I heard Wait And Bleed, I was like, ‘What is this?!’ I’d never heard of Corey or Slipknot, but hearing that song was such a key moment in me understanding the prominent role rock was going to have in my life.
“Corey is now a very good friend of mine, and we’re similar in many ways. We’re both very eclectic, emotional people. It’s the same with our music – we can’t be pinned down. People don’t know what to expect from us, and sometimes they don’t like it, but we don’t give a single fuck. Corey is my big brother; he’s someone I adore and who I’ll fight for. He’s changed my life.”
